opensource license - adding my logo

Post by gustavobap »

Hi, I have read the license of zimbra opensource regarding the banner logo. As I understood I can add my own logo, since I keep the zimbra original one there. I have one question though, if I only change the logo do I have to use ZimbraInside logo or can I use the default one ?

Can you please take a look at these pictures and tell if they are in accordance with the opensource license?

Also, I didn't find a easy way to add my logo, the documentation only have instruction to replace the logo in the network edition. So I changed css/login.css file. There is a better way to do this ?

Hi gustavo,
I'm not a big expert in Licensing, but you have right, you can add your logo, if you keep the Zimbra one. In Open source edition, you can try the next commands, I need to test them:
Run this commands as zimbra user:

zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoURL https://mail.example.com/
zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoLoginBanner https://mail.example.com/img/MyLoginBanner.png
zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoAppBanner https://mail.example.com/img/MyAppBanner.png
After you do that you will need to restart mailboxd to have the changes picked up.

If you want to put it in /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/logos/

zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoURL https://mail.example.com/
zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoLoginBanner /logos/MyLoginBanner.png
zmprov md example.com zimbraSkinLogoAppBanner /logos/MyAppBanner.png

You could put it there, but keep in mind that any custom data in that location is likely going to be overwritten on upgrades. The safest thing to do is to host the custom data on servers external to the ZCS platform.

I've just checked it and it's works without issue in FOSS.
Find here my example images:

Don't forget to comply the CPAL license and add the Zimbra logo as well as yours.
